Original subtitles

Okay, it's time for bed now.

Past time.

- Are you tucked in? - Yeah.

Okay. Close your eyes and let the dreams come.

I'm not sleepy, Daddy.

Can you talk to me just a little longer?

Hey, you remember the song "Furusato"

my mother used to sing to me whenever I couldn't sleep?

I thought you said it was when she missed Japan.

Yeah, but, um, it calmed us both when we needed it.

Daddy? Are you there? Why'd you stop?

Um, sorry, I gotta go, sweetheart.

But the song's not finished.

Yeah. But, um, this way you will have something to look forward to.

How soon are you coming home, Daddy?

I'll be home before you know it.

I love you.

I love you too, Daddy.

Kentaro.

Kentaro.

Hiroshi.

Hiroshi.

"I love you, Lee." Stop.

- "I always will." - Stop.

"In another lifetime, we could be together.

- Your Kei." - I know what it says.

So did Bill Randa.

That letter was with his things.

He knew that you betrayed him.

And your betrayal drove him away.

I don't believe that.

That's not who he was.

Billy loved you.

He wanted to be the best father he could be for you.

That's not what I remember.

No. I was just talking to him driving into Kazakhstan.

He was saying we'd never been away from you for so long

and h-he wanted to get back home to you so bad.

This was two months ago.

My condolences on your loss.

But you still have your other great love.

When you said "fieldwork," I didn't know you meant this far afield.

We didn't pick the spot.

The Titan did.

- Thank you. - Thanks.

Attention, all Apex Cybernetics personnel,

Titan arrival in T minus 13 hours.

Stage two alert.

Are you having second thoughts?

Aren't you?

Do we really think my code's the answer?

Yes. I do, Corah.

You know, this isn't a tiny Leafwing

you can perch on your arm and feed peanuts to.

Do you really feel like we can control this thing?

Yes.

Now, make sure your code skill's up to control Titan X.

No pressure. I'm counting on you.

You know, you have every right to be upset.

But can I ask you something?

What good is it doing you...

to live a life that's so fixated on wanting to change the past

that you can't allow yourself to create a better future?

I mean, at some point,

you're gonna have to move beyond

blaming everyone for what they did

and start building a life that's yours.

What do you expect from me?

Just pretend none of this ever happened?

No, of course not.

Well, it would be convenient for you, wouldn't it?

I'm not telling you this for my benefit, Hiro, but yours.

And hers and your children.

You got your mother back, Hiro.

You did that.

Do you really wanna push her away now?

Because if you do,

you're blowing off the opportunity

to discover one of the most fascinating,

fearless and unique people alive.

All because you're mad

that a long time ago,

she just happened to fall in love with two men.

I'd expect you of all people

might know a little something about that.

Well, our ride's here.

All right.

Pack it up, everybody. It's here.

Director Barris, if you... if you would just hear me out.

Absolutely. If you can explain to me

why you're headed to South America

when Apex Cybernetic is telling us

they have a positive hit on Titan X in the Bering Sea.

Because the last time

Apex told us they had a "positive hit,"

we chased a blue whale halfway across the Pacific Ocean.

So I don't trust Apex.

I don't trust them either. That's why I need eyes on the scene.

I can't just call them liars.

A-A reliable source has confirmed that they...

that Apex knows that Titan X is headed to South America.

What source?

Uh...

A highly respected and confidential informant.

It's Colonel Shaw, isn't it?

Damn it, Tim. The world's on a precipice.

I've got possible Titan sightings popping up all over the globe

and you want me to take a valuable asset off the board

based on the word of a fugitive?

No, no. It's not just Shaw's word. He has evidence.

Uh, a migratory map from Bill Randa's journals.

Okay, I stand corrected.

So I'm supposed to trust a fugitive

- and a crazy dead man. - Well, Apex does,

and they're not sharing that information. Why not?

Look, sir, we cannot afford to be wrong about this.

There are good people on this ship

and equipment that can help.

But it's not going to do any good in Alaska

because there is nothing there.

Apex are our partners in this.

- Are they? - And they have friends in high places.

You understand?

All right, look.

If I back this play, it's going to be both of our necks

on that chopping block.

I'm going to need more than your source, Tim.

Get me some proof.

Do you want to talk about it?

I'd rather talk about you.

You said you think you can help.

Did something happen to you

in San Francisco?

I think I heard something.

Heard what?

I went to the Golden Gate Bridge

and there was this vibration, like...

I don't know, a-a song coming from the ocean.

You heard the ocean singing?

You know what? I was drunk.

It was probably nothing.

Okay. Pilot said we land in two hours.

And then we'll go on shore to Santa Soledad.

By boat.

How do we know that's where Titan X is going?

Oh, the people on this island, they celebrated a festival

that foreshadowed the return of this Titan.

They called it Co-Cai.

And Billy believed that

this was one stop on its migratory route.

He predicted Titan X should reappear about every fifteen years.

He didn't live long enough to see if he was right,

but if he was, Titan X isn't due back before 2023.

So, Bill Randa was late, and we're six years too early?

By activating

the Suzuki device on Skull Island,

it appears that we have awakened Titan X

and brought it out of Axis Mundi ahead of its schedule.

If its natural instincts do kick in,

it should follow the path

Skull Island right back to Santa Soledad.

What do you think Apex is gonna do if it does show up?

Tim said the intel we got from our little incursion into Apex,

indicates they may be working on a way to control the Titan

with a neural implant.

Probably air-launched from a chopper or a drone.

But the real question is, why are they keeping it a secret?

It might explain a lot about him. The two families.

He was abandoned as a kid.

Maybe he never wanted to risk being alone.

So you think he needed a backup family?

A spare just in case?

He couldn't help himself. It's the engineer in him.

Neither one of us was a spare.

It doesn't matter who came first. He loved us both.

And left us both.

You didn't see him when I told him we thought you were dead.

He was destroyed. He barely slept for two years straight.

I finally get a chance to see all of him now.

Not needing to keep himself half hidden all the time.

Why did you keep that letter?

It's all I had left of you, Kei.

I could take it out from time to time, you know,

and kick myself for not fighting harder for you.

Or pat myself on the back for how noble I was.

How do we make this right?

We can't change the past, Kei.

And I don't think Hiroshi's in any mood

to hear an apology from us right now.

Even if it is owed.

Just give it time.

Hmm.

Hiya, Boss.

Jason. Are we ready?

We will be. Just need a quick moment for a chat.

So long as it's quick.

Security sweep on the north shore

found a Zodiac boat hidden in a cove.

They got here sooner than I expected.

Corah's friends.

It was only a matter of time before they showed up.

How do you want me to handle them?

Do what you have to do and make sure they don't interfere.

We can't have them leading Monarch here.

Well, we were right. Apex is here.

All right, we gotta let Monarch know

and stay out of sight until they get here.

Where did all the people go?

They moved on after Monarch moved in.

I guess living under a microscope didn't appeal to them.

And the Titan comes back here?

If our recently acquired research from Bill Randa is correct,

with Titan X on the loose, it should return to Santa Soledad.

But why? Wh... To do what?

To spawn, uh, to feed.

I imagine we'll find out tonight when the Titan arrives.

First we launch the drone carrying the projectile.

Then we launch the projectile into the Titan.

Unless someone were to try and stop us.

- What are you talking about? - Your friends, the Randas.

You know they're here.

What are you talking about?

Am I really supposed to believe you're surprised?

I mean, they were calling me in Pensacola, but it's...

What? Brenda, it's not like I need them in my ear

telling me how dangerous and reckless and stupid this is.

I hope you don't believe that, Corah.

Of course I believe it.

But I also believe that this is gonna work,

or else I wouldn't be here, would I?

Well, let's get to it then.

Titan arrival in T minus 3 hours...

Look. That wasn't here before.

It's one of ours.

Doesn't look like anybody's been here for a while.

- You wanna have a look? - Yeah.

Stay here. Keep watch.

1968.

Looks like Monarch waited a decade

for that thing to come back,

before they packed it in.

Find anything?

No. Nothing we can use.

Monarch should have toughed it out,

but they didn't have Billy's journal.

Billy was here.

He came back.

It's your drawing, Hiroshi.

Okay.

Hey. Hey.

Hiroshi.

What I wrote in that letter...

- We don't have to talk about it. - Yes. We do.

Whatever you think that letter means,

I need you to know I loved your father.

With all of my heart.

Well, not all of it.

I chose to be with Billy.

I wanted us to be a family.

When I read that letter, I was filled with anger.

At you, at Shaw.

For what you did to Dad

and what it made him do to me.

But then, do you know what I felt?

Relief.

I always assumed that he left because of me.

That I did something wrong.

That I wasn't his own flesh and blood.

That he didn't really love me.

That's not true.

So, reading that letter and finally understanding

that I wasn't the one who disappointed him...

in a way it lifted a weight off my shoulders.

If only I'd been there.

If I hadn't taken foolish risks.

The day I fell through that rift...

It was me who made the decision.

They both were against it.

And I convinced them that I should be the one to go down.

And that reckless decision cost me years of my life.

Years I could have spent with you.

Been there for you as a mother.

Maybe then you wouldn't have spent so much of your life

feeling so abandoned.

I realize now the people I disappointed...

Those mistakes were my own.

You own yours.

I own mine.

- What is it? - Hey, uh, w-where are you?

I'm just seeing my family.

Something has come up, uh,

and I think you should really get back to D.C.

I haven't seen them in over a month, okay?

Th-This is important.

This is important. I'll see you next week.

No, wait. Don't hang up.

There's something here you really need to see.

- Goodbye, Tim. - A-A fishing trawler

in the Western Pacific hauled in an old Monarch bag.

It has "property of William Randa" stenciled on it.

It's got field notes in it, old maps, data tapes.

It might be from his Skull Island expedition.

Yeah. I'll be back in a week.

A week? Are... Are you serious?

There... There's a treasure trove here. Stuff nobody's ever seen.

Can you please handle this?

Yes, but I'm...

He's your father. You're the only one here that even knew him.

I didn't know him.

I-I barely remember him.

Oh, I'm... Yeah, I'm-I'm...

I'm sorry, I just...

It's these readings that we're getting out of Janjira.

What's in here could be really important.

I just... I'm sorry. I just thought you'd wanna be here.

I'll be on the next flight.

I'm picking something up on sonar. Range 1,000 meters.

It came out of nowhere.

Uh, what's the bearing? What's the bearing?

Three-two-zero.

That's behind us.

I think it's Titan X. It's coming right for us.

Hard to starboard. Bring us around to heading two-two-zero.

Range 500 meters and closing.

Four hundred meters.

Come on.

- Three hundred meters. - Dive.

Two hundred meters and closing.

Oh, my God.

One hundred meters. Contact imminent.

Brace for impact.

Contact heading south, southeast.

Five hundred meters ahead.

Headed straight for Santa Soledad.

We're not gonna make it in time. We gotta tell Shaw.

About ten miles out, making a beeline right for us.

Just like Bill Randa's map told us it would.

Yes, Walter.

You were right.

Everything's proceeding as expected.

It won't be a problem.

I have faith in Corah's code.

The synaptic link will scale, yes.

And we'll have a proof of concept.

Yes. I'll keep you updated.

It won't be long now.

The drone crew alert for final drone check.

Next arrival in 20 minutes.

Let's cut through the old tavern to get a better look.

It's so lifeless now.

We have to stop Apex,

and we're running out of time.

All right. There's the drone carrying the synaptic link.

You see those two metal torches on either side of it

up against the buildings?

We're gonna use those to jam the rotors on the drone.

Wait, is that May?

Time to lock it up, Jason.

Okay, I got it.

Boss lady says we gotta go.

Yeah, I get that, but I still need to recompile the new module

and then make sure the interface doesn't bottleneck.

That sounds super important.

The thing is, we just got confirmation the Titan is inbound.

He'll hit our locale in 16 minutes,

so let's not make perfect the enemy of good. Hmm?

Perfect is our only option.

It's now or never!

Let's go!

You wanna know what Apex is really up to, let's ask.

Shaw! Shaw!

May!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

They know you're here. You need to leave. Now.

That's not an answer. Why are you helping them?

Because I feel like the work that we're doing

could prevent another G-day.

We've made incredible progress.

We'll be able to control them.

Progress?

May, it's barbaric is what it is.

Who gets to control them? Brenda? Her boss?

Do you hear how naïve you sound right now?

I sound naïve?

Jesus Christ, Cate,

we're trying to do something good.

Stay out of the way.

I don't want you guys to get hurt.

Say she makes a pretty compelling argument.

Then why are they keeping this away from Monarch?

Yes, exactly.

If Apex truly believes this is the answer, why keep it a secret?

Why not share their success with the world?

It makes no sense, Lee.

Because whoever holds the other end of that leash,

can not only prevent a G-day,

but they can create and pinpoint a G-day

to destroy whatever or wherever the leash holder chooses.

And that makes it a weapon that can be sold to the highest bidder.

Everything all right?

I told you I needed more time.

We all need more time, Corah.

We make the most of what we got.

What's that?

It's starting.

They're headed straight for the launch zone.

Get everybody out of there.

Copy. Clear the launch area, now.

Copy that. Clear out.

Let's go, let's go! Clear out!

If we're gonna do this, now's our chance.

Let's go!

Ma'am, we have a perimeter breach at the launch site.

- When it rains, it pours. - We gotta get that bird in the air.

- Come on. - Scarabs!

Colonel, we need to go!

Everybody back inside! Run!

- Launch it or lose it, boss. - Go.

Time to light this candle.

Lee, run!

- Run! - Go!

Lee!

Lee? Lee? Are you hurt?

Let's get him inside.

Watch my leg.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

We got you.

Let me see. It's okay.

All right, all right, all right.

Let me have a look. This is gonna hurt.

Cate?

Cate.

We lost target. Spin around for another try.

Cate.

Cate.

- Oh, my God. - What the hell is she doing?

No, we have to stop!

- Get someone out there! - No! No!

If this works, this is how we save her.

This is what we came here for, Corah.

Drone has acquired target.

Fire!

Got a connection.

That's good. Do we have control now?

No. Synaptic link is still uploading.

I got you. I got you, Cate.

Are you all right?

Cate, we have to go.

Report.

Intense neural firing

in the frontal cortex and amygdala.

Stand by for full cognitive override.

We've disrupted its somatic responses,

every muscle group is seizing up.

No. No. No. No. Wait.

The Titan has so many neurons.

The feedback loop is causing massive data spikes.

I told you that I needed more time.

Stop whining about time. Pull it together, Corah.

I told you that we couldn't scale the program

to something this big.

- Fix it, now! - Are you kidding me?

The whole thing is gonna crash.

Wait.

Where's Hiroshi?

Come on, Catey.

We're gonna have to run.

Catey.

We gotta run!

- Cate! - Kentaro!

- Dad! - No, get back!

Get back!

Signal's dead. I've lost data.

We're in the dark here.

- Brenda. Brenda. - We have to evacuate.

- Brenda. - We have to evacuate.

Evacuate!

Evacuate, now!

Go! Come on!

Go!

Let's go, come on!

Hey, come on!

You are not going down with the ship. Let's go.

Dad? Dad?

Help! Someone help!

- Oh, my God. - Cate, are you okay?

Get help, Kentaro. Oh, dear.

Are you okay?

- Get help, please. - Just get help.

You're gonna be okay.

I'm gonna get you help.

I missed so much of your life.

No.

So many...

moments.

So many lies.

You're gonna be okay.

It's okay.

Hiroshi.

Hiroshi.

- Hiroshi? Hiroshi. - Dad?

- Dad? Stay. - Hiroshi. Hiroshi.

Get the medic we have over there helping these people looking for signs of life.

Let's lock the site down.

Preserve everything. Data, equipment,

I don't care how damaged it is, everything goes.

And above all else, I want every single person accounted for.

Help! Help!

Look, no one leaves until the director gets here, all right?

You understand? No one! Go.

- We need a doctor! - We need a medic!
